[SGC Members] Japanese Go Tour Group visists Go Center, Tomorrow!

[Jon Boley]

Dear Go Player,

Our friend, Shunichi Hyodo 7-Dan will be bringing 22 amateur Go players from Japan to the Go Center tomorrow, Thursday the 31st.  They should show up at around 4:00 to 5:00.  They want to play YOU!  So if you are free tomorrow, stop by the Go Center.  The string of the group is roughly: 4 4kyu, 1 2kyu, 2 1kyu,  and the rest are dan players!  They will be at the Go Center until 8 or 9pm.

Next week is the Go Congress in Portland, Oregon.  We will be on a limited schedule during the week due to high attendance at the Congress by many of the people that staff the Go Center.  Our tentative schedule for the week is:

Saturday, August 2nd: 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Tuesday, August 5th : 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Thursday, August 7th: 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Sunday, August 10th: 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Go Camp update:

Currently, I am at Go Camp.  With me I have Jiang Mingjiu, 7p, Jin Chen, Scott Arnold and Yoshi Sawada teaching.  Also, Steve Burrall, Barbara Burrall, Kristen Burrall, Karoline Burrall, Alex Chin and Cathy Tsai are our counselors.  The group of 28 kids is the strongest group of kids I have ever seen at Go Camp.   

Today we head to Mt. Rainier for a day of hiking and fresh air.  All the kids are doing go problems on a daily basis and studying at least 6 hours a day.  It is quite exciting.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the Go Congress and if not there at the Go Center!
